Estate of AMELIA FURIA, Deceased. IRENE POLI, as Executor, etc., Petitioner and Respondent, v. NANETTE ANN FURIA CAMERON, Claimant and Appellant
103 Cal. App. 4th 1 · A097519
California Court of Appeal, First Appellate District · Filed
Holding
The court held that an equitably adopted child does not have a right to inherit the property of her testate "grandparent," whose will directs that her property shall go to the "surviving issue" of her own children, as the doctrine of equitable adoption creates a contractual right to receive property but does not convey all the rights of an heir under the Probate Code.
